I hope Netflix picks up tmnt. They could do a great story with rich character development.

at this point wouldnt mind if disney made the move and brought tmnt to the marvel world.

Oh, come on. You really think anybody saw Rocksteady, Bebop, and Krang, and thought, "Gee, this looks worse than the last one." I'll buy that the last movie left bad tastes in people's mouths, but I won't buy that.

Hmmm. Not super sure if you're trolling or not but just to err on the safe side I'm not going to bother showing you lots and lots of reviews that say this one was worse than the last one, DESPITE Bebop, Rocksteady, and Krang.

That's the only real possibility to claw this back in the near future.

I've mentioned before the Amazing Spider-Man series as something of an equivalent to the Platinum Dunes TMNT movies and I think the current situation with the box office bares this out and hope that if people were willing to accept a reboot for that franchise so soon you could make the same argument for turtles.

There is one big distinction still between the two; While there was more faith in Marvel rebooting Spidey but if Webb movies were the last word before the reboot I'm sure there would still be doubters but Spider-Man was featured in one of the biggest Marvel movies and gave audiences a taste of what to expect which has put a lot of doubt about Homecoming to rest. TMNT doesn't have that.

[Foombamaroom]

I'm sure this movie's flopping because people learned from their mistakes.

However, that doesn't explain why the Transformers movies make so much goddamn money, even if most of it comes from overseas.

Well I think this looks worse than the last one.

If anyone had said 6 months ago that PDMT2 would have a higher RT score than BVS...

Well, this year is just full of surprises.

Any given thread in this section had like 3 posts made in it per minute. Total chaos. Granted a little chunk of those posters were casuals who came & went riding a wave of nostalgia.

Well, fool me once... Yadda yadda...

I bet BayTurtles is way worse than BvS.

I'd probably even put money on it were I a bettin' man.

Well, BVS isn't a bad film, like it's predecessor, as in badly made; but it's a miserable experience, didactic and coarse. It's unpleasant to look at....

Kind of like the CG turtles.

So tie?

Not sure when I'll get to it...PDMT left such a bad taste...

Hmm, interesting. Well I'm definitely seeing it soon, if only for Affleck's Batman.

God, I could barely make it through the first one.

Guess I'll find out in a month or so if I feel like watching this one.

This movie is much better than the 2014 movie. Even leaving Bebop/Rocksteady aside, the Turtles themselves are MUCH better. They actually have characters now and some good banter and dialogue.

In the 2014 movie it felt like nobody had any character, this movie they at least feel like the Turtles. I still don't care for their huge hulk forms or nostrils, but other than that they were fine.

Which is nice, but yeah.... the 07 movie, and the last one brought boatloads of new members. I didn't even bother coming to this section at all during Summer of 2014, cause it was so overrun with posts.

No. At best it's a slight improvement and I can't even agree on that, it's annoying as all hell and feels way longer than it is.

I hope this movie bombs.

You're not going to change his or any of our minds with your negative viewpoint, so shut your trap kiddo. You ruined your own good time and you're borderline obsessed with trying to make others feel inadequate or stupid for liking what you did'nt. Let it go already.

I hope puberty kicks in for you and you get some much-needed perspective.

It's just a f*cking movie. You act like it killed Muhammad Ali.

..... Hostile much with including "The Greatest" to prove a point?

I hate to be that guy, but Zarius after seeing General Discussion with Marvel and Batman v Superman, you are the last person who should be calling out cinematic tastes. Whether you're calling people out as sheep who enjoy Marvel (personally for me, I can only fully enjoy Iron-Man and Winter Soldier at this time, going to be viewing every movie after exams so I can see Civil War) or, I dunno, calling out the cameo scene for the latter... That's hypocrisy if I ever saw it.

I'm not opposed to your stance of the film (I personally am uninterested in this series altogether), but this is the pot turning the kettle black. We're going to disagree regardless on these films as Michael Bay is one instance of cinematic poison with not fully grasping the source material alongside Platinum Dunes. Either put him on ignore or something instead of allowing a killjoy to keep coming up. You enjoy something, more power to you, after all it's my silly opinion that don't mean much.

What? Are you insecure about your opinion? Are you afraid that if you rewatch it, it's not going to hold up? Do you dislike this movie deep down and lying to yourself?

These are the only reasons I can imagine why you're getting so angry every time I express my opinion of this movie. I'm not trying to make to make anyone feel stupid or inadequate, I don't like this movie and I'm using counterarguments, there's a difference. You're the one who is trying to tells me I should shut up and not explain why I didn't like this wretched movie, I think I've said this before in the in the Nick section, what's the point of a forum if everyone with a negative opinion should just shut up?

Hell, where was this attitude back in 2014? I didn't see anyone shutting up to let the people who liked the movie chatter around in their echo chamber.

Look, this isn't a good movie as far as I'm concerned, I didn't have a "good time" to ruin, what the hell do you even mean by that? Most of the critics agree with me on this one and you're probably going to see a lot more reviews that weren't paid for or give this movie a passing grade because it's "a stupid kids' movie". The reason I hope this movie bombs is so that it won't get any sequels and Paramount can spend their money on making other movies that won't suck.
